46% of accidental drownings of those aged between 18-25 involve alcohol and/or drugs in the last 6 years. Follow @RLSSUK’s #DontDrinkandDrown campaign to learn more about how you can stay safe.

[RNLI @RNLI]

When temperatures rise above 25°C, the risk of accidental drowning increases by five times!

UK waters remain cold, even on hot days, and can cause cold water shock. Acclimatise carefully and if you're struggling, remember #FloatToLive.

Sharing this could save a life 💙

New research from @NWSFweb, with insights from RLSS UK, reveals a shocking connection between hot weather and increased accidental drownings.

2013, South Coast of India I saved a young man from drowning on this beach - the strength of the waves overwhelmed him & he couldn’t swim 🌊 I share this story, not for praise, to show how unpredictable the water is you wouldn’t know from this picture. #DrowningPrevention #WDPD

[Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK @RLSSUK]

RLSS UK is proud to support @who #WorldDrowningPreventionDay, which raises awareness of water safety & aims to reduce preventable deaths.

What leads to drowning often happens in a few seconds. But with the right awareness & actions, those seconds can be changed... (1/3)

Child drowning deaths in England have doubled in the last 4 years, from 20 in 2019-20 to 41 in 2022-23. This tragic increase highlights how important it is that families are aware of water safety. Please take time to learn more this week.

The risk of drowning is 2 times higher for children from more deprived areas than those from less deprived areas.

No child should drown. Please RT to share our vital water safety advice with your audience: https://t.co/xYVhwNR9ts

On 31 May 2023, two beach-goers didn't make it home to their families. Their names were Joe and Sunnah. They were just 17 and 12 years old. This is their story, told by their loving mums. Please share this video.
